 Supposed to clear up tomorrow and then be nice for a few days....I'll let you know for sure when i wake up tomorrow and look out the window  wilma

Re: Winter/Summer/Winter....
Well...it was 112 degrees here today...felt like 120!
I spent the last two days at Bartlett Lake giving jet ski rides to spine damaged, severe brain injured, paraplegics, quadraplegics and a host of other things. Our company donates 8 watercraft to use for two days....for the Barrows Neurological Institute's "Day on the Lake". What a TOTALLY rewarding 2 days. These people wait all year to have fun "Like normal people" for these two days...Here are a few shots... Sorry Tom for the hijack!

Re: Winter/Summer/Winter....
Here's a few more
A Mom and her son going for a ride together...with the help of our "driver (in back)   A paraplegic getting ready to outrigger ski...they are strapped onto the ski...and the jetskis and boats that you see act as chasers and are there to help when they're needed!

Re: Winter/Summer/Winter....
Last two...
Daisy, who has cereberal palsy...is getting ready to go out for the second time...She has a twin sister, too. I took Daisy on her first ride...she's fearless!   Here's a boy going out to have fun. Notice the cushions which are there to help when they have no lower body control

Re: Winter/Summer/Winter....
Thanks for sharing that story...great stuff!! My Karen teaches skiing at a local mountain in the Adaptive Program. Lots of folks with similar challenges getting to have some fun. It is amazing to see someone go from a wheelchair to the ski lift...kind of puts everything else in perspective.

Re: Winter/Summer/Winter....
To be honest...I look forward every year for this weekend, too! These are really cool people...with awesome stories and adventures to tell.
Pete...we had a couple of supercharged and intercooled watercraft out there, too. RXP's and RXT's...215hp in a water craft. Plus, we same some Yamahas, too
